Marion Brunet Sends an Exiled Father Back to Pinochet's Chile
In "Ne cherche pas le chaos," the French novelist follows a Chilean exile forced to return home, letting the ghosts of the dictatorship resurface through his bond with his daughter.
Marion Brunet's new novel, "Ne cherche pas le chaos," traces the reluctant homecoming of a political exile from Pinochet's Chile, according to Le Monde. The book, reviewed by the paper as "délicat," builds its story around the relationship between the exiled father and his daughter, using that bond to bring back the memories of the 1973-1990 dictatorship.
Le Monde's account gives no further detail on plot, publisher or length, but situates the novel squarely within the literature of Chilean exile, a theme that has run through French fiction for decades as writers and their descendants revisit the aftershocks of Pinochet's rule.
